The new Babel looks nice, and I'm glad we'll finally get proper translations for KR comments again. Thanks for taking up the task, Ritsu.

It's a pleasure to maintain the site for me! All that's important is having fun while doing so. I was already doing the balance patches and translating Korean ones in a private Discord server, so I might as well have it on a public site.

Thanks for taking up the Task Ritsu, but i just wanna ask why 2naFish quit doing Patch Note translation? Is there any particular reason u might know and can tell me?

While I don't know the exact reason, I know 2na had been fed up with Elsword for many years now, so it's only natural he'd stop translating. It's actually impressive that he did it for so long.

2na quit the game a long time ago. He didn't enjoy translating patches anymore and only did it for the community and the game he had a thing for in the past. It was only a matter of time until he quit Babel too.

It's only natural as well a matter of time. If you don't enjoy doing something, even as a job, one day some day you'll stop doing it - we've all been there, be it Elsword or something else entirely in our part of our lives, so the fact that he continued translating for years after quitting is quite the dedication. Of course that goes without saying that Ritsu and the Elwiki crew will carry on 2nas torch (though the torch won't smell like fish anymore).
